Car Parking
There is no parent parking on the school site, an option during drop off and pick up is to park away from the school and walk to school, a great way of building you and your child’s fitness and help reduce the carbon footprint at the same time.
The drop off zone that borders the sloping bank will be a ‘manned’ stop, drop and go area from 8.30am to 8.55am and again from 3.00pm to 3.15pm. In the morning our staff will greet your vehicle and, if necessary, escort your child/ren to their class. This means you will be able to stop, drop and go in a minimum of time. You do not need to get out of your car.
In the afternoon your children will wait for you on the bank to be retrieved. The teacher on duty will pop your child in your vehicle and you can quickly depart. You do not need to get out of your car.
Our mobility car parks are in operation in both carparks, so please ensure that these are used only for the purpose they were designed. Unless you have a mobility card and the card holder is in the car then the spaces must be kept clear.

A couple of reminders:
- Both car parks are for staff cars only, please do not park in any of the carparks.
- No parking in the stop, drop and go area until after 2.45pm.
- At stop, drop and go please do not get out of your car.
Dental Clinic Parking
A reminder to parents that you must not use the dental clinic car park to drop off or pick up children, thanks for your cooperation in this.
Hats
Please make sure that your child has their school hat at school. The wearing of the school hat is compulsory during term 1. Children not wearing a school hat will have to sit in a shaded area during play and lunch times.

Softball Primary School Competition
Softball is coming to Millwater!!! North Harbour Softball are bringing a primary school softball
competition for Hibiscus Coast schools to be played at Metro Park in term 1. The competition will be run
for 6 weeks on Wednesdays for year 5 & 6 students, starting on the 1 st of March running through to 5 th
of April. Games will be played from 4.15-5.15. Each team can have a max number of 12 players and can
be mixed teams. It will cost 30$ per player. North Harbour softball can loan softball gloves for the
competition if you need them, so there is no need to buy any gear.
Get a group of friends together to sign up or register as an individual and and join a team and make new
friends.
Teams will need a coach to attend the game and possibly run a few practises, so we are looking for a
parent or team of 2 parents to take on this role for each team. I can assist volunteers in that role with
your first practises, ill come along to set you up and give you lots of great ideas for practise and help
with the rules.
I will call a meeting for interested pupils at school to collect sign up information or you can contact me
direct to register your child or ask any questions.
